Hey guys,
My STEM OPT ends in 4 months and I didn’t get picked in this year’s H1B.
Now I’m stuck deciding between joining a Day 1 CPT school to keep working or doing a second master’s at a regular F1 program.
Kinda stressed tbh I don’t want to mess up future visa stuff with CPT, but I also can’t afford to just stop working.
Anyone here gone through this recently? What did you choose, and how did it go?
Appreciate any advice 
The experience at CPT university shouldn’t affect other future identities, right? It seems that as long as you choose the right school and major, there shouldn’t be much of a problem.
People have differing opinions, but I believe that if Day 1 CPT exists in this market for a long time, we should be fine, at least from my understanding.
What’s your end goal? If you wanna keep working you could do Day 1 CPT, but if you wanna do another masters anyways you could keep your options open and study something more specialized
